Setting of Play: Central Park, New York
Notable Cast:
Raul Julia as Othello
Frances Conroy as Desdemona
Richard Dreyfuss as Iago
Reviews/Comparisons:
4.7 out of 10 stars (IMD)
1991:
The New York Theater review stated this play was dreadful. The review goes on to speak that the characters chosen for the play did not fit the role they were given very well. The two main characters, Iago and Othello, showed no true hate between each other. The director also depicted the characters in a very different manor. Christopher Walken played Iago as opposed to Richard Dreyfuss, and Walken did not compare to the past Iago. The characters in the 1979 production were thought of as alot better rather than this recent play. (Richards, The New York Times)
